Yottaa publishes customer stories on its site. Whoosh starts every store on a 50/50 test, then keeps 10% of shoppers as a control group, so you see live, per-client conversion lift in the dashboard. Here's TileCloud, a Shopify retailer that evaluated enterprise speed tools, two weeks after installing Whoosh.
The closest thing to a silver bullet in ecomm that we've come across. By only improving site speed, our conversion rates lifted 10% overnight.

Honest take
When Yottaa is genuinely the better fit.
We don't think Whoosh wins every comparison. Here's where Yottaa is the right choice.
6cases
If any of these describe your stack, talk to Yottaa. You're not the audience for Whoosh.
- You run more than one commerce platform (Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, SAP Hybris, Sitecore or a custom build) and want one performance vendor across all of them. Whoosh is Shopify-only.
- You want delivery on an edge network: Yottaa's platform runs on Fastly's global edge network, on top of what Shopify already provides.
- You want a Customer Success Manager, or Yottaa's managed services team doing the performance work with you.
- You have more than 1.5 million page views a month and want a custom quote and contract.
- You want rules by device, location and connection (Yottaa's Context Intelligence), or to split-test sequencing rules on part of your traffic.
- You want to watch performance before you change anything: Yottaa Insights is free on the Shopify App Store.
For Shopify stores that want their apps in the right order and the next page preloaded at one flat price, Whoosh is US$99 to US$149 a month, whatever the traffic.
Common questions
What people ask before switching from Yottaa.
Direct answers, no hedging. If you don't see your question, drop us a note.
Is Whoosh a real Yottaa alternative for Shopify?
Yes, for Shopify stores. Whoosh is a Shopify app that does the job Yottaa's Optimize add-on does on Shopify: it loads the apps shoppers see first and makes the rest wait. It also preloads the page a shopper is likely to open next. Plans are US$99 to US$149 a month, billed monthly through Shopify with no annual contract, and Whoosh installs in minutes from the Shopify App Store.
I'm on a Yottaa contract. Can I still try Whoosh?
Yes. Yottaa's enterprise plans need an annual contract, per Yottaa's pricing page, while its Shopify add-on is billed every 30 days through Shopify. Either way, you can install Whoosh alongside Yottaa for the 7-day free trial, compare the results, and decide before your next Yottaa bill or renewal.
Will switching break anything on my store?
No. Whoosh is purely additive. It never touches theme code, never blocks existing functionality. Run both Whoosh and Yottaa in parallel during your trial to compare side by side, then disable Yottaa when you're confident.
Can I run Whoosh and Yottaa in parallel during my trial?
Yes, the safest way to compare. Whoosh runs a 50/50 test on your own store for the first few weeks, so you see Whoosh-attributed conversion lift in your dashboard. Once the result is clear it moves to 90/10, keeping 10% of shoppers as a control group so the lift stays measured. Compare it directly to your Yottaa dashboard. The data picks the winner.
Who already runs Whoosh?
15+ Shopify and Shopify Plus stores across Australia, Europe, and North America. Named clients include FRANKIE4, Nakie, TileCloud, Salt Lab, Bon Maxie, Baxter Blue, Baiia Swimwear, TWL, Craft Club Co, VIBAe (Europe), Duke The Label, Seed & Sprout Co, and others.
How does Whoosh's price compare with Yottaa's?
On Shopify, Yottaa Insights is free, and the Optimize add-on, which sequences third-party apps, is US$300 a month for the first 150,000 page views, then US$0.002 per page view, with a custom quote above 1.5 million page views a month. Whoosh is US$99 a month for Smart App Loading or AI Page Preloading, or US$149 a month for Whoosh Max, with no page-view charges. At 500,000 page views a month, Yottaa Optimize comes to US$1,000 a month and Whoosh Max to US$149.
What about Yottaa's edge CDN?
Yottaa's platform runs on Fastly's global edge network, and its managed services include delivery through Fastly's CDN. Whoosh works on the application layer: the order your apps load in, and preloading the next page. Shopify already serves storefront assets from its own CDN, so on a Shopify store the wait is often third-party scripts (Klaviyo, Gorgias, Yotpo, Shop Pay) rather than network delivery.
Does Yottaa need a contract?
On the Shopify App Store, Yottaa's Optimize add-on is billed every 30 days through your Shopify account and starts with a 14-day free trial. Yottaa's enterprise plans are priced on request, and Yottaa's pricing FAQ says they need an annual contract. Whoosh's prices are published on the Shopify App Store and are the same for every customer.
What are the best alternatives to Yottaa for Shopify?
Whoosh is a Yottaa alternative for Shopify and Shopify Plus stores. Yottaa's Shopify add-on bills by page view; Whoosh is a Shopify app from US$99 to US$149 a month with monthly billing and no contract. It sequences your apps, preloads the next page, and shows real-user Core Web Vitals and conversion results in your dashboard. Other Shopify speed apps do different jobs, such as theme and image work: see Shopify speed apps compared.
